Schumacher XTR-3E - World's Fastest 1/10 Truck is Also the Weirdest I've Seen. 70+ MPH Rated.

[@scottthompson2481]

Hey buddy , it was Schumacher's son that he made the ball transmission for , as his son started racing RC cars and kept needing new tires so his dad made the ball trans , then all his racing buddies wanted this upgrade and Schumacher RC was born . All the best ..............

[@2shoestoo]

Its funny to watch your amazement of the early nitro cars and technology. When I was growing up in the 60s it was all about slot cars. Slot cars were electric that had wire brushes hanging out the bottom and were energized by 2 metal strips on the track. In order to run them you would head down to your local hobby store and run them on there indoor tracks.

[@187DAFFY]

It's a Championship trophy truck that competed in race's, as its a quick fill tank they were always getting dirt and grit inside so they put a filter inside which was easy to replace to further protect the engine from damage, during pit stops it was easier to open the tank and change the filter. Hope this helps

@CrazyTechLab I managed to find and mix alot of all parts from other shumacher trucks/cars, and then my pull string starter took a crap and haven't replaced it, during covid shut down it was difficult getting parts from other countries so I just set the truck to the side and haven't touched it in a little over a year now.

hey bro! I've taken a long break from this RC, it's just too much stuff to document on video properly for me. I have been doing small jobs on it though. SO far I fully rebuilt th pull starter with a different rope and it works fine. IN your case, you need a new fuel tank, just gt any HSP or Traxxas tank and you will be fine. You pretty much have no choice at this point, just try to reuse one original chassis hole, and drill another one.

[@hybrid32494]

thanks! Can you believe the metal chassis and plastic motor mount though? Have you ever seen anything like that for a nitro car? It seems this chassis was just the 1980's IFMAR winning CAT chassis which was electric, so they must have just made it work, and stuck a nitro onto it for this RC. Not terrible, just interesting.

[@tmrperformance5420]

hybrid32494 i kinda like the steel chassis and plastic engine mount . I’m thinking the plastic mount works good for engine harmonics and reduces some vibration and the steel pan is probably reasonably tough .

[@hybrid32494]

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro, thanks for watching. First thing is check if it spins at all, by moving the flywheel with your finger. Don't attempt to use the electric start at all, it could he stuck and you could strip a gear or burn the motor out. You only attempt to use the EZ-Start once you know the engine spins freely. Remove the head and inspect it, you could add some wd-40 or after run oil and use a heat gun on the engine case (side), this should free it up and you can see if it's repairable at all, or mechanically broken. LEt me know after you get it, NitroGang likes this stuff.

Hey bro, thanks for the confirmation o the tire size. You would be surprised how many people said the tires were too big, lol. I appreciate all advice ofcourse, that's why I asked the NitroGang to help out. I will be trying this one out again soon. I have narrowed it down to possibly being to lean, as many have suggested. IDK how it's even possible it's got loads of smoke, but maybe at the top RPM range it does lean out and starve for fuel.

I had a storm club 10 back in 92 and looking the xtr i can see they cut down on costs to make a nitro as club 10 front end had camber and toe adjustable arms. I remember the way the wheels bolt on instead of hex so odd seeing it over 24mm hexes now.

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, thanks!

[@NathanStorer]

Maybe the 2 part fuel tank is to allow people to clean it out should they have old/bad fuel in it? Also, with the metal chassis, perhaps the added weight aided with stability and lower center of gravity over a lighter aluminum or plastic chassis? If it does 70mph as is, they probably didn't feel the need to go lighter.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro, you made some good points! I could see that being the case with the metal chassis. But I now realize why they used a plastic motor mount plate. This chassis was originally an IFMAR winning design back in the 1980's and from an electric model. They just used it and adapted the same electric chassis layout, that's why the component all look so weirdly placed on it. I'll take apart the fuel tank in the next video, we can look inside it.

[@warwickeioncampbell4737]

The chassis dates back to the cougar, which they converted to the shotgun truck then converted to gas. there was also the storm on the same chassis whis is aluminium. I had the cougar in the late eighties and converted it to the various electric trucks. Originally the chassis was on the top cat that has been rereleased.

Yup bro, the VX18 is not a bad motor. It's easy to tune and has adequate power. IDK why so many people put it down, for a 1/10 RC it's perfect. I dislike the Vertex16 though, had one in a redcat, could never get it tuned well.

Ball diffs for the win!!

Awesome! #nitrogang 🤘

What the hell does tm mean. The other four are 2.5s

[@limited50scla]

I’d say disassemble the Carb and clean it. Hopefully it’ll fix it. Might need some adjusting or a gasket/o ring.

[@karlw2090]

I've always wanted one since they came out. Maybe 2004ish

[@karlw2090]

Whoops.. I'm thinking of the Schumacher Menace.

[@jfieifm]

I don't know about you but this Schumacher is the only model I've seen with an exhaust pipe that cuts through the entire car, instead of being in the back or on either sides. I found that weird.

[@TheVasilief]

It keeps over 50%of the weight on the center, that's good for cornering. But on a 2wd it reduces some grip on acceleration.

[@jfieifm]

@@TheVasilief i don't think it's weird like bad it's just the first time I've seen something like this.

[@Nerm78]

Man I hope you can get a running car out of those two! Even if you cant imo it was worth 60 bucks just to mess with them.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Sorry for no food in this one again, these vids are getting too long, you know. I'm eating but not putting it in here so far. Anyway, ye, for the money at least I have some cool thunder tiger motors, I will try to fire one motor up in the next 1-2 vids for sure.

[@Nerm78]

@@hybrid32494 I would love to see one run and try for that 70mph mark! Hehe you dont look sickly so I figure you must be eating good so I wont give you any shit about not having food 😜

[@erichiles9568]

They all run two of those were on trucks month ago

[@SavyBajaBuster]

What's weird about it?? It's just a bit old skool🤣 the genesis of this car goes back to the 80's with the Top Cat which became the Cougar then Cougar 2 (which were all electric). Then various mk's of Nitro10's, XT 21, XTR then the XTR 3e. Not much changed from the Cougar to the XTR 3e, small mods to the chassis mainly change to steel from aluminium and transmission beefed up to take the power but the suspension remains pretty much the same for all the cars.. If you paid $60 for them then that's an absolute bargain👍😄

[@tyranducksworth1913]

Nice score

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! I got my work cut out for me with these two, more like one. I'm hoping to get one started (just the motor in the net 1-2 videos). I will just pour fuel into the motor see if it starts up at all, then figure out if that 2-piece fuel tank design holds pressure.

[@madhut3042]

I think your single speed Schumacher is an XT and 3 speed is XTR3 E

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro, yes, It's highly possible. That's what I was thinking too. Since the Parts one is missing the entire drivetrain section I cannot tell if it had the metal diff outdrives, only the XTR-3E had those from what I read. At least the parts one 21 engine is in normal shape and not seized, the other one is.

[@mhcrazygirl5453]

A= Auslass !?!

[@hybrid32494]

hey!! ahah, you got me!! Some comment said it was to make sure the piston is correctly placed right by the exhaust port. Actually a good idea, some people reverse the piston on motors and the wrist pin eventually breaks, if they are directional, (very few engines are this way).

[@madisonbrita9222]

Give me one of those 2 that you have please, I receive it so damaged I will fix it

hey dude. I have been trying to keep track of my speech patterns and I have noticed the word "literally" is overused. You're right. LITERALLY!!

[@nomusicrc]

hybrid32494 I’m huge into people speaking “gooder” as you’ve noticed by my comments another thing that bothers me is double negatives I ain’t got no money which means you have money and then when I call them out on it they have no idea what I’m talking about it makes me sad people are getting dumber

[@hybrid32494]

@@nomusicrc hahaa, yes, I know, you're right .I rarely use double negatives, if I do it's more of an exaggeration (hyperbole) so to say, lol. BTW, I got a 98 on my AP English Test back in 11th grade. I need to find copies of my old report cards, I'll put it in a video. That would be interesting, what do you think?

sup bro! I'm currently working on this restoration. the car is I pieces. I hope I'm not missing ay parts of the drivetrain in the back because it looks like the spare parts one was used to re-build the complete model. NItrogang!!
